The Dustless Connection (DuC) is designed to connect a portable measuring instrument with the transport pipe. The DuC is permanently fitted in a socket on the pipe. The DuC enables the measurement instrument to be easily inserted dust-free into the transport pipe thanks to the overpressure mechanism.

The Welding Guide (WG) is a tool that ensures a correct positioning of the required socket that enables the Dustless Connector (DC) to be connected to the transport pipe. The DC is used as an instrument port for the Pulverized Fuel Sampler (PFS/PFSA) that is used to extract a representative sample from the full cross section of a fuel pipe. Since, it is critical that the sample head of the PFS/PFSA can rotate freely inside the transport pipe a correct mounting of the socket is essential. The WG secures that the socket with thread is welded perpendicular on and in the center line of the transport pipe.
